Investing in Your Future

At Lincoln, we continually invest in our campus as we strive to provide the best learning environment for our students. We understand the importance of giving you the strongest possible foundation to help you achieve your aspirations. Whatever your chosen subject, the University aims to ensure that you have access to the latest equipment and resources so you can develop skills employers want.

Over the past two decades the University of Lincoln has invested more than £300 million to provide a modern, student-centred environment. This includes two major academic buildings and new on-campus student accommodation which opened in 2017.

Flexible Learning Spaces

Flexible learning spaces offer students an interactive environment which can be adapted to their needs. They offer a secluded and relaxed space which can be used for peer review, group work or independent study.

These spaces can be found across campus and are an alternative study option that gives you access to specific equipment and choice of location.
